I’d like to think I would stand up for you in that subway car. I’d stand up and say something like, “I’m a proud Irish Catholic And what you’re doing is shameful!” And then I’d like to think I’d have even more courage to turn to the people next to me and say, “and who are you? “Thus starting a chain reaction of people standing up, staring down, and publicly shaming the morons who support Hamas.

Who’s with me?

Maybe you should run for President! I think your wife would be a perfect First Lady. I hope that if you were on that subway car and raised your hand someone or ones would have stood up for you. It does remind me of 1938 Berlin. Why do the Democrats continue to make excuses for Biden's bizarre behavior and bewilderment instead of recognizing it's time for him to go. The thought of Kamala as President is frightening too.

We were at the Nova Festival exhibit on that Monday afternoon, and when we were headed out the door, the guard stopped us and told us he wouldn’t open the door because there was a mob of 1000 protesters and 200 NYPD. After nearly an hour, another guard escorted us and dozens of others trapped inside down to the basement to another exit. The experience became like a reality show. The comic relief came when a Chabadnik got Hillel to put on tefillin!

Wonder, indeed, if using your head and want to keep it. Confront them if using your heart, sole, and moral sense of outrage. Israelis stand up daily; we should too.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago during Dan Senor's interview with Sheryl Sandberg. She advised asking non-Jewish friends, "Would you hide me?"

My theory is for Joe to run and soon after, if he gets re-elected, to step aside for Kamala to become the first woman of color to be president.
